Ugh... OK, can we all agree that this is completely wrong? This sort of thing is why I always encourage folks to look beyond the standardized--and oftentimes altered--information spewed at them daily. Look beyond the familiar and expected if you want to truly understand anything. I can feel you itchin' to roll your eyes at my last sentence, but questioning is way harder than it sounds. Conversely, it might be that I fail at it so often because I'm a nitwit. To be honest, it could really go either way, so try it yourself and see.

To those of you that abuse the Reply to All button: everyone else in your office hates you. Happy Friday.

Let’s take a break from reading / watching how poorly Bill Cosby handles rape accusation after rape accusation, shall we? Instead, let's see how the British royals do it? C’mon, lets get cosmopolitan with this, guys.

“Comcast, Verizon and AT&T have claimed for years that if the Federal Communications Commission lumps broadband service providers into the same legal category as other public utilities, like telephone companies, the Internet as we know it will cease to exist.” <-- That's correct, because we're looking for progress. Nice try, Comcast, Verizon and AT&T, but you can't rule forever. Even Standard Oil had to stand down, eventually.
